Not the best performance we've seen but we got the 3 points against a very good side. Mertesacker and Kos were both the rocks we've come to love in the heart of our defense, and Chesney was confident and assured.
I hope Giroud thanked Boruc for the early Christmas present
Hopefully. Then we have Everton, City and Chelsea in the lead up to Christmas. Would like some room for error in these games tbh.Originally Posted by milla
We will jammy it but most importantly we will get a 100 % result from these two games.
The last time we lost an unbeaten run against United at OT, we had Southampton at home and were dire and looked dead until the dutch skunk scored an injury time goal to salvage a draw. We looked shot of confidence and bereft of belief.
Today it was a different result. One of belief and keeping going and maturity. We kept Southampton at Arms length all game and thought we did very well.
We are winning games on the strength of our defence and Giroud who is after Mertesacker and Kos our most important player. Hassling, harrying and always an outlet when we play the long ball. Brilliant.
Good result. Even though saints gifted us the goals but because we are defensively sound we get the rewards.
I am starting to believe.
Solid but boring performance. Good refereeing. Hit the post twice through genius from Ramsey and Wilshere. Good win. Looking forward to dropped points for rivals tomorrow. Come on the mighty Arsenal.
An all to important win, and needless to say, 3 points.
Coming off a most unfortunate loss against the mancfilth and an international break, it was always important to get the momentum going again.
Also, it's great that we've capitalised on scourers derby stalemate and have put a bit of gap between us and the pack. Going to need that bit of cushion for a tough December campaign. Get through that period finding ourselves still top of table and there'll be little doubt the title is coming home.
Giroud.
He's cemented Boruc into history, as that goal will be shown for generations to come.
Kos.
BFG.
Sir Ches.
The Arsenal.
They're not a bad side. No doubt Nergew will have his eyes on that Beckham corner taker.
Stuffed em. Could have done better if we decided to get out of first gear.
Sluvernly (sp) performance, that reaped the rewards of just being a better team, despite them thinking they were big time.
Fuck off.
We're the Arsenal.
We're top of the league.
Fuck off.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
So close
We won which is all that matters, never easy after an international break. Would be nice to see us keep the ball for a bit longer though.
Ozil is an odd one for me, I must admit I thought he'd control the game a bit more, I thought he'd be our go-to-man like Cesc and Vieira before him. He doesn't seem to influence games that greatly. Maybe I'm being harsh, I've only watched a few Arse games as I'm overseas but I kinda expected more from a £42m man with his reputation. I guess I'm not allowing him any settling in time. At the moment he reminds me a bit of Berbatov - some lovely touches but could influence the game more.
I still think Jack could become our go-to-man in that midfield if he can somehow overcome his injury problems.
